Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the crestal bone level between alumina-blasted/acid-etched (AB/AE) surface-treated implant and calcium phosphate surface-treated implant” based on the radiological examination.
Materials and Methods: An in vivo study was undertaken to evaluate the crestal bone loss on mesial and distal aspects of implants categorized into two groups with different surface treatments, Group A: AB/AE surface-treated implant and Group B: calcium phosphate surface-treated implant using standardized intraoral periapical at three different intervals, i.e., immediately after implant placement, at the end of 3, and 6 months after placing the implants. Statistical tests used were Student's unpaired t-test and ANOVA.
Results: The bone loss was measured, and values were recorded immediately after implant placement, 3, and 6 months of placement.
Conclusions: The use of calcium phosphate surface-treated implants minimizes crestal bone loss compared to AB/AE. This may increase the longevity of implants.
